 Compiler &amp; language internals

-# What is this "compiled code"?
-
-You can inspect various stages of code representation (and reveal bugs):
-
-- `code_lowered(+)`
-- `code_typed(+)`
-- `code_typed(+, (Int, Float64))`
-- `code_llvm`
-- `code_native`
-
-What happens if we use an abstract type?

-Performance rule #1:<br><br>
-<strong>Less instructions is typically better,</strong><br>
-<strong>less jumps is typically much better.</strong>

-Performance rule #2:<br><br>
-<strong>Memory allocations comprise of many instructions<br> and plenty of jumps.</strong>

-# What are all these things starting with `@`?
-
-Macros allow you to generate code before compiler runs it:
-- `@info` can know what variable names to display
-- `@benchmark` can run the code several times
-- `@test` can safely wrap the failing code and print what failed
-
-## Important types for macros:
-
-- symbols: `:abc`, `:+`, ...
-- expressions: `:(1+2)`, `quote ... end`
-
-Macros are functions that get unevaluated arguments (as expressions) and return unevaluated results (as expressions).
-
-```julia
-macro clear_data(v)
-  quote
-    $(Symbol(v, :_orig)) = load_original_data()
-    $(Symbol(v, :_enriched)) = nothing
-    $(Symbol(v, :_final)) = nothing
-  end
-end
-
-@clear_data patients   # reloads patients_orig, clears patients_enriched, patients_final
-```
-
-
-
-# Macro use-cases
-
-Use macros to improve your code whenever Julia syntax is too unwieldy.
-
-```julia
-model = @reaction_network MyModel begin
-    c1, s + i --> 2i
-    c2, i --> r
-end
-```

 # How do I package my code?
 
 Use `] generate MyPackageName`.
